The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[FFC1987]

I'm bored. Club seemingly holding back on a signing for 'effect'.. it's effect is me being bored.

I can't get my head around maybe it's to announce 2-3 at the same time. Reliable people suggesting he had his medical yesterday and fee/personal terms were agreed yesterday....don't suppose we're going to announce Ayew as well of something daft like that! Seem to recall certain current staff members chased both a few seasons back and still rate them.....

[grandad]

The Club have only one roll of video tape left so are waiting to announce a whole crop of signings on this last tape.

[hovewhite]

Still no confirmation on alfie,or anyone?

[Fernhurst]

Off up to Harley Street for a 2nd opinion????????

Has anybody actually seen him or know for sure he as at MP? There are loads of "reliable" sources and if they were all reliable we would have signed 30 players and spent £2 billion.

Maybe the knee is more of as problem than first thought and we are re negotiating the fee. I'd love it if it happens but it does seem a bit quiet though.

The knee maybe a problem,that could be a big obstacle .

Other than the fact that you said on Monday that it would be announced yesterday or today...

Is that a knee-jerk reaction?

[DevonFFC]

Could it not be that they are doing an unveiling tonight in front of the fans?

Or allowing Slav to announce it himself in a after match press conference

On that point will there be a GJ commentary?

I would have thought they'd stick to the usual announcement policy. Imo there's no point in doing it in front of 500 fans, with Jim announcing the arrival. I think it's more likely they're waiting to see what the reaction the suspect knee has to the medical.

Just passing on what I've been told by someone who has been right about things previously. At the time, the information was that he would be signing yesterday or today. Now, it appears it will take a bit longer. I won't bother in future.

Earlier on there was some talk of a GJ solo commentary, as in no Jamie.

Maybe they KNEEd a second opinion.

There would be no point in announcing something in front of so few fans. Not a big pre season game as such. Besides there is no commentary as I understand it just a news feed.

Ashley Williams joining stoke on loan apparently
